2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship for Women

The 2012 U18 FIBA Americas Women's championship will be held Aug 15-19 in Puerto Rico.
Participants: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico and USA.
The tournament will qualify the top three teams for the 2013 U19 World's championship.

USA Basketball has announced the 12 finalists.
Among them, some confirmations of experienced players (Stewart, Graves, Tuck, Stafford from previous teams and Mo Jefferson from previous trials) and some new players. Three finalists come as unselected from the U17 trials (Kendall Cooper, Allysha Gray and Jannah Tucker who was also a member of the 2011 U16 team). Like it has been the case of the U17 finalists, some players are quite low in the top rankings, but as the selection Committee Chair declared, "it was not so much taking the 12 best players, it was taking the 12 players that can come together to make the best team".
